As time progresses, an increasing percentage of linear systemsstudents (~50% in the most recent Linear Systems class) have also utilized the homeworkgeneration modules in earlier KSU mathematics courses. As implied earlier, the broad goals ofthis work are two-fold: (1) to provide computer-based education tools that improve learning and(2) to generate assessment data that can be correlated with data from present and previoussemesters. These data may shed some light on what mathematical knowledge students mostreadily retain and what topics require greater emphasis in prerequisite courses.
